``` Protocol IV on Blinding Laser Weapons prohibits the use of laser weapons specifically designed to cause permanent blindness. The parties to the protocol also agree to not transfer such weapons to any state or non-state entity.[2] The protocol does not prohibit laser systems where blinding is an incidental or collateral effect, but parties that agree to it must take all feasible precautions to avoid such effects ```
this only does it as a side effect of setting you on fire
aka they cant use it if at anything if they cant prove its safety
>force population to use X-bandwidth filtering sunglasses so they can use their laser pewpew
i can see china doing this
at whatever power it's set at it might melt through the mass-produced glasses anyways
tbh i see that weapon used against security cameras and other such devices
instead of people
>aiming molotows out of peoples hands
and stuff like that
*aims laser at paper factory*
and yes @transience didn't that hit in Cuba aswell?
🤔
iirc yes
That was chink electronics
And unless the chinks are at least 4 gens ahead of everyone else in terms of battery tech they don't have shit anywhere near what they are claiming
It weighs as much as a fully loaded ak
I think there's a lot of battery power in that sucker
it says 1000 shots at 2 second bursts
Fully loaded ak is like 6 pounds
Thats nothing
Loaded is 4.8kg
An 18650 is 3000mAh or so and weighs 45gm
That's a lot of power my man
`It can fire more than 1,000 “shots”, each lasting no more than two seconds.`
i'm confused by the wording
does that mean each shot can be 2 seconds
And it would explode in high discharge applications unless a good chunk of that was heat mitigation
or 1000 shots maximum at shortest duration
I thought my google was sperging out with dates at first https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_calendar
Let's talk light guns and laser weapons that cause cancer in <#189467888657235970> thanks
turns out, thai years are 543 years ahead
I think it fires for two seconds, then charges.
@transience it does that on their windows too
taiwan has minguo years (years since the founding of republic of china) but i think google still uses gregorian calendar, which seems used in day to day life anyway
it's just official stuff and receipts that seem to use minguo years
How backwards, someone needs to come by again and introduce the year of our lord to the heathens
minguo is usually only used for government stuff
because it was mandated a long time ago and now it's a matter of legacy support in terms of records keeping
